"Not long after Music Volume Two was released Christ. had already started work on his first major EP. From memory it seemed only weeks when he first produced the master cd that was to become Pylonesque. Constructed using very basic beats and live synth work, the melodies that immediately emerged are arguably his most powerful to date, when taking into the account the simplicity of his set up at that time. To then go on and sell 2 to 3 thousand copies is almost unheard of for a debut EP in the struggling market of electronica on a relatively unknown indie label such as Benbecula. Of particular note is the title track and the mesmerising "Absolom (For Lucy)", with the repeated intro phrase seemingly going on for bars and bars before the powerful key change, I still get lost in it. Along with the popular live favourite "Perlandine Friday", one could settle for these three tracks alone. However the others are by no means fillers and the EP flows beautifully as a whole. I cannot imagine anyone with a remote interest in electronica not having this record - period." - Label

Yeah I eventually went there to check it out. It says deleted =/. I sent Christ. a message on myspace asking if he was going to re-release them in any way. I can't even find them on Soulseek.
Lol yeah people have tried that,and would you believe it he doesn't even have them! I think he would rather forget about them,but i would love to hear albums :) They are like hens teeth to find,ive spent the last year looking and trying and nothing so far :(
Absolutely one of my favorite EP's.
